Okay, come on, how in the world was I supposed to choose ‘only a few’ of your costumes to share today?!! Holy smokes…….you have all blown me away. I kept saying, “oooh, I need to share this one, and oh yes, this one too…..and haha, I HAVE to share this one!” By the time I had looked through them all, I had narrowed down my selection to 127 pictures. Dang. So I had to narrow again. Bummer. I don’t have enough hours to save/upload/organize/share them all today. So, you’ll have to check out every single Halloween costume photo (made by YOU) over at my flickr group. Hurry, you’ll just smile and smile…..and then laugh. And then stare in amazement. They’re THAT good. :)

But here is a nice little sampling of you busy little sewists (or someone you know, who made it for you), making the most beautiful and clever costumes. I could just squeeze you all. I think it’s FANTASTIC that so many are having an absolute ball creating costumes for their children/themselves/friends. It’s kind of exhilarating, right? And how many of you surprised yourselves when something actually turned out? Pretty cool feeling, huh? Careful though……it’s like a drug. You may find yourself wanting to make every little thing you or your family may need. ;) (My husband teases me about this all the time. And sometimes says, “you know, I’m okay with you just buying that!” Ha!)

And who goes first? Anything ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ related. Because, well, I’m kinda partial to that theme this year. ;) And ahhhh, you guys had so many great Red Riding Hood ideas!! (Did I forget anyone? If so, let me know.)

Wow. Maybe we should have a party and let all the ‘Little Red’s’ have a little party together. However, I’m afraid all those mean ol’ wolves will scratch each other up a bit. ;)

Anyway, moving on to so many more ideas. Once again, I’m inspired. And have slurped up many new ideas from you all. (And others have too, I’m sure.) So, thanks!

Now, let’s pretend that these little beauties are all parading by you…..in front of your house, or something. I totally won’t tell if you ‘ooooh’ and ‘ahhhhh’ and maybe clap for your favorites. Because I had a few similar moments as well. Ha! :)

And just so you know, I kept making comments as I added pictures and would then delete it. Because you’ll never get through them all if I keep doing that. But if you’re anything like me, you have at least 100 things to say about each photo. Ack, they kill me!!!!!

So let’s get on with it already. Ahhhhh, so fun!!

Did you just die? Ha. :)

Remember there’s lots and lots more over at my Flickr group. Go check them out and I promise, you’ll continue to laugh and smile and ooh and ahh.

Great work to everyone. And thank you again for sharing. I can’t think of anything more fun for children (and adults alike), than to dress up and act out their very favorite fairy tale or conquer imaginary worlds as their favorite super-hero would. The thought that went into all of these costumes is incredible. All for a day that celebrates imagination; Halloween.

Happy Halloween everyone! And indulge in all of that guilt-free candy today. That’s what I’m doing anyway! :)

So many amazing costumes, so many people go to so much effort. I live in Australia and in the area that I live in, Halloween is not particularly big, in fact we had exactly no-one knock on our door for trick or treating last night. The question I have though, is it seems that everyone is fairly into it over there, does a representative from each family have to stay home so that there’s someone to answer the door, or are there enough pele that don’t go out on the streets to collect lollies from? :)

OH MY GOODNESS, HOW CREATIVE! I must say my FAVORITE was the Scooby Doo family! I literally laughed at loud when I say their pic, because not only did it bring back memories of the original cartoon but everyone’s costume was dead on (and the pose too)! Just LOVED the Fred, Daphne, Velma, Scooby and Shaggy costumes! My husband and I both got a kick out of it! :-D

Thanks for including my husband and I (Almond Joy/Mounds) AND my kids (pirates)!!!! Like someone else said, I feel like I won an award!!!! I’m definitely going to be facebooking a link over here right now!!! :) Your blog has helped me rediscover sewing over the last year and I SOOOO appreciate all that you do!! THANKS! :)

Wow, I feel so flattered that you included our family costumes! I was checking your blog all day yesterday crossing my fingers that we would make it (what an honor to be on your blog!) and low and behold… we were the first pictures on there! Thanks so much for including our little red riding hood and wolf. And thanks even more for the wonderful tutorial, couldn’t have made them without you! Everyone did a wonderful job, what fun costumes!!

Oh my goodness those were all so adorable and funny! I am totally going to have to steal Heidi’s idea and make those Mounds and Almond Joy costumes for hubs and I next year! I couldn’t stop laughing at that one! Wonderful costumes all around!!! :)

These were fantastic! Just found your website – now a super huge fan. Wish I knew of this before to add our family photo. This year our 18 mo girl was sushi (shrimp), I am pregnant so her little brother was a little sushi on my belly and Daddy was soy sauce. So glad to see all the creativity.

So cute!
I don’t celebrate Halloween, but I sure loved seeing all those costumes! I think I like mickey and minnie mouse best. so cute! I’d like to make that for my daughter and son for Purim. (Thats what we celebrate at the end of November).
Great job everyone!

Yay! So exciting that our little Aladdin family made it on your post! All the costumes are amazing! I love your blog and all your tutorials; I’ve used several of them and you break it down to make everything easy for a beginner like me! :)

Hi, I came across your site off of Pinterest because my daughter’a photo was pinned! My daughter is the queen of hearts. I haven’t looked at the site, just skimmed these photos and read comments. I was wondering, how did you get her picture? I don’t mind, because she is incredibly adorable ;). I was just curious though…
